Personally, I think it`s excellent. I`ve only seen the Japanese version, but have to say it`s a wonderful movie. I think it just depends on what you expect.
It has a really good balance of stuff that impresses little kids, and things that someone older can enjoy.

But I also think the setting and the events in it might be a long way off from "normalcy" outside of Japan - stuff that really can`t be localized either in a sub or a dub. Not all that many people in the US grew up in a fishing village with all it`s trappings. Or it might be something you can only appreciate if you have kids - like all the Crayon Shinchan movies, that just elicit sighs from the non-parents while parents are literally weeping. There is one of those my husband can`t even TALK about without starting to cry.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
